Thank you guys! I have been struggling a bit with high nutrients lately (still am, but we're getting there) so I haven't spent too much time on making new videos and stuff. But this weekend I took another go at it, here's a 9min review of some of the species in my tank, a livestock review! I hope my Dutch-English is good enough to understand, I know it doesn't sound quite native but I'm trying to improve :)

Beautiful my friend!

How often do you clean your sand bed and how do you keep it so clean?

Thanks Rev! I don't clean it because the Valiencienna Sexguttata does it for me :) it literally filters the entire bottom from left to right. He does tend to use quite a bit for reinforcing his "hole" under the left rocks but I spread it out about once a week so he can start over again haha!

What is the name of the blue wrasse? That's a beautiful fish.

In Dutch we call it a "Diamond Wrasse" but I think the official name is Macropharyngodon bipartitus, blue star leopard wrasse!

Thank you very much! In the mean time I decided to shoot another video this morning. It's a video in which I will be showing a few of my corals from very up close in macro mode. Unfortunately the audio isn't that great so I'll consider taking the case off my phone next time I make a video. Hope you guys enjoy and remember, feel free to ask any questions!

Hello! Indeed I have only the Gyre combined with a locline on the return nozzle. Because my reef is very open there is enough flow everywhere yes :)
What fittings did you have for attaching the loc-line to the outlet please? Special order or stock standard duckbill angled outflow? The one I've seen is threaded which wouldn't work I assume.

Hmm I attached a standard loc-line which was threaded but added some white tape you use when you're connecting water pipes (plumbing stuff) and that made it a snug fit!

By now I've upgraded to an S8 which is a significant upgrade from the S6 :)
